Gainward or Palit are both good nVidia partners where as GB and Asus in my mind are ATI.
I like Palits stuff but Gainwards "Golden Samples" clock nicely too...personal choice, but I'd get the Palit because the frog logo is pretty random but very cool.
Any of the above are good cards and you wont be disappointed with any one of them.

I hear nothing but good things on the Gainward Golden Sample cards. The Palit is a Gainward, except the GS is a better binned GPU.

The Gigabyte is factory OC'ed which is very nice and if you are willing to spend the money, buy the XFX GTX 260 Black Edition. In benchmarking it proves to be the best. 666MHz core speed.
